Willka T’ika is the magical, special place that it is not because of its location (which is spectacular) but because of the people that make it work. Carol and Terry of course, Vidya and Theo, but also and perhaps especially, that wonderful family that ‘adopted’ Carol twenty years ago and have remained loyal. They are so cool. . . . Last night I was browsing my photos and reminiscing, and ran across aphoto from last August, me and my friend, …

I wish to congratulate you with all my heart for the astounding, heartfelt and wonderful twenty years of service you have brought to Peru and to the world with your work at Willka T’ika. I wished I would be able to put in words what your kindness and openheartedness, your beauty and joy have meant to me when I was at Willka T’ika and beyond. I am so very grateful to be a part of your extended family, and I …

So glad our group got to meet you, Carol, and as a wonderful added bonus receive a personal tour! I am grateful that I already was able to tell you this in person but it bears reiterating – I was “blown away” at how every square inch of each room, building, path, accessory, furniture, landscape, garden, etc. was radiating the love, spirit, connection, joy, compassion, etc. of your spirit and that of all the indigenous people that helped you! I …

We cannot express truly what an awesome time we had at Willka T’ika & the entire private Magical Journey. Had plenty to do – hiking, sight seeing, mountain climbing etc -yet the entire trip was calm & peaceful. Exactly what we needed & what we werelooking forward to!!! The beauty of Willka T’ika cannot be described in words, thanks to Carol for the gift she has blessed us all with. We did not have the honor of meeting her in …

Willka T’ika is the best place we have ever stayed on any vacation we’ve been on. We are fortunate to be able to travel a lot, and of all the dozens of places we have stayed all over the world, Willka T’ika is the most magical. I am an architect and loved all thehistoric ruins and Inca sites of course. However, I believe thehighlight of my trip was to be in, and explore your amazingly wondrousgardens. The buzzing of the …

The retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. . . . Willka T’ika isa stunningly beautiful and relaxing venue. The tripwas well-planned – thoughtfully paced with the perfect blend of solitary relaxation, group activities, and yoga. I returned feeling more relaxed and refreshed than I thought possible, as well as filled with gratitude for a beautiful and nurturing experience. Willka T’ika is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. . . . a ‘Garden of Eden’. The immaculately …

This was my fourth time leading a group to Peru, but our first time staying at Willka T’ika. It will definitely not be our last. This property is absolutely amazing. The grounds are beautiful and obviously cared for with great love, attention and skill. The staff could not be kinder or more helpful. The food could not be presented more beautifully or prepared more tastefully. It was an absolute delight meeting Carol and getting to know more of her story. …

We booked our stay for 2 days, but due to an impending strike with no transportation for 2 days, would have left us stranded with no way to get to Willka T’ika. 1 call and the staff arranged a room a day early, a ride and saved us from being stranded. The food was wonderfully fresh and most ingredients from their organic garden. We were able to participate in a ceremony for the sacred 1, 000 yr old tree on …

I am still in awe!!!!. . . . Just returned from leading a yoga retreat at this beautiful sanctuary. From the moment we stepped through the front gate, . . we were welcomed by the fragrance of flowers and the smiles and hugs from all the staff. The rooms, food(vegetarian), yoga shalas, tours, guide, service. . . . all absolutely impeccable! You could feel the love that went into creating such a magical place in the heart of Pachamama! Our …

I have just returned from my third visit to Willka T’ika and cannot recommend it more highly. The moment you go through the big wooden gates you are in a truly magical world. The beautiful gardens, the very comfortable rooms, the delicious and imaginative vegetarian cuisine, and the extraordinary kind and caring staff all combine to make this a little slice of heaven. As an extra, of course, is its location nestled in the Sacred Valley amid the magnificent Andes …
